Hi all.
I was going to post this in the Rumours forum, but that's only for links to news stories apparently, so I'll put it here instead...
I recently had a tragic buttock-related incident which has left a few clusters of dead pixels on my ol' faithful iPod Video 60Gb. I was previously planning on running it until it died completely, but even with its slightly dodgy screen, it's perfectly useable. However, it has tickled that little bit at the back of my brain that's secretly constantly pining over the latest gadgets.
So I was wondering if anyone knows whether there's likely to be an update to the iPod Classic any time soon?
I've had a quick nose around the information superhighway, and there only seems to be talk about the iPod Touch and iPhones these days, and I feel like the Classic has remained untouched for the most part for quite a while. Sure, there have been firmware tweaks and HDD size changes, but nothing big. Is there likely to be a big new revolution in the iPod Classic any time soon, or is it likely to say much like it is now as it is quite rightly 'a classic', and who wants to mess with that?
The reason why I'm asking is I'm trying to figure out whether I should just take the plunge and get a Classic soon. Or is there something 'amazing' just around the corner that I should wait for like there often seems to be with the Mac computer lineup?
Any thoughts gratefully appreciated!
Thanks,
Al.
PS. I adore the iPod touch, but the most important thing for me is £ per Gb, and I definitely want more Gb than my current iPod next time around, so the Classic it is...
